What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
If the number of protons and electrons in an object are not equal, it will have a net charge and become an ion. If there are more protons than electrons, the object will have a positive charge; if there are more electrons, it will have a negative charge. This imbalance in charge can lead to interactions with other charged objects.
What is the difference between a positively and negatively charged atom and how does it occur?
The difference is how many protons and electrons. Protons are positive, (both "p's" easier to remember) so if there are more electrons it's negative, less electrons it's positive. When atoms have electrons added or subtracted it changes the charge, then they are known as ions. The atomic number is how many protons there are, this never changes, if it does there is a different element.
What particle has 78 electrons and 81 protons?
It is an atom. The only atom with 81 protons, i.e. atomic number 81, is Thallium, Tl. If it has 3 less electrons it has 3+ positive charge. So it is the Tl3+ ion. Note you usually encounter Thallium as Tl+ . In thsi respect it is different from the other members of Group 13.
The three particles that make up an atom are?
The electron, the proton and the neutron are the "building blocks" of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge (p+), and neutrons which have about the same mass, are electrically neutral, or have no electrical charged (n0). Electrons, which are much less massive than protons - only about 1/1836th as heavy - have a negative electrical charge (e-). All atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons, though most hydrogen (1H1) has just the proton in its nucleus and a lone electron in orbit.
How many electrons are in the uni-positive ion of sodium?
There are less electrons than protons in a positive ion. More information is needed to determine the exact number. Here is an example: How many electrons are in a carbon ion with a positive charge of positive 2e? There are 6 protons in carbon (since it is element number 6). Since it has a charge of +2, there will be 2 less electrons than protons, so the number of electrons would be 4.
How does electrons shielding affect atomic size as you move down the group?
Shielding affect acts as a barrier for proton to attract electrons, therefore the electrostatic force (the which attracts electrons to protons) becomes much less and electrons become further away from the nucleus of the atom. Because of this, the atomic size increases as you move down the group.
What happens if a particle has less protons than electrons?
The atom will become negatively charged (protons are positive and electrons are negative.)
What does it mean if an atom is said to be charged?
It means that the atom has more or less electrons than protons, making it either positive (less electrons than proton), or negative (more electrons than protons).
What kind of atom has less electrons than protons?
anion
What atom has more or less electrons than it has protons?
Ion
What do you get when the number of protons and electrons in your model is not equal?
Cations are formed if electrons are less. Anions are formed if electrons are more.
Does a negative ion have more protons or electrons?
Protons are positively charged. Neutrons are neutrally charged. Electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if an atom is positively charged, it could have any amount of protons or neutrons, one does not need to be more than the other. However we can say it will definitely have more protons than electrons.
Have about 1800 times less mass than protons and neutrons?
Electrons have ~1800 times less mass than protons and neutrons
Something with ions in it?
Ions are particles with less or more electrons then protons
An atom with an imbalance of electrons and protons is called?
I'm not sure there's a word for it. Ones with fewer neutrons might be "neutron-deficient" (or "neutron poor"), though a) that's probably politically incorrect and b) I think it refers to nuclei that have less than the optimal number of neutrons, even if it isn't actually less than the number of protons.
What is a charged particle because it had more or fewer electrons then protons?
Cations are positively charged ions formed when atoms lose electrons. So they have less electrons than protons. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons. So they have more electrons than protons.
What does a charge on a ion indicate about the number of protons and electrons?
The charge on an ion indicates the imbalance between the number of protons and electrons. If an ion has a positive charge, it has more protons than electrons. If it has a negative charge, it has more electrons than protons.
